Use FGO to open the second dimension

"Hei Tong, go train with Yin and the others. Little one... play with me from now on!"

After saying that, Esdeath's figure instantly disappeared from the sight of Gin and the others. Even Hei Tong was unable to catch Esdeath's speed. Only Koizumi could see the trajectory of Esdeath's movement in his eyes.

Indeed, Koizumi could already sense Esdeath's speed and subconsciously responded accordingly.

With a flash, Gu Quan also disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, bursts of sonic booms echoed in the surrounding space, and even bursts of air waves burst out.

The scarlet aurora cut through the space, and the icy blue cold air turned into a hurricane, and the two collided with each other.

Heitong couldn't help but retreat quickly. It would be very bad if he was affected by the other party here.

She knew very well how terrifying Esdeath could become once she got serious, and she couldn't get close to her fighting area.

"【God's Spear Gungnir】!

A scarlet light suddenly burst out, and the scorching energy burned the air, turning into a flash of aurora, which directly penetrated the cold hurricane. Gradually, the cold hurricane dissipated before the eyes, and Esdeath's figure appeared at the same time.

Esdeath looked at Koizumi with great interest. She had just tried a move with him, but unexpectedly got shot through by him. It was obvious that Koizumi's strength had increased greatly. If it were before, Koizumi would not even be able to catch his own afterimage, but now he had caught up with her speed. Not bad.

"Little guy, your strength has improved a lot. It seems that you are also a guy with the weapons of a general..."

Esdeath's face was filled with fighting spirit, and it was obvious that she wanted to have a life-and-death battle with Koizumi.

However, Esdeath remained calm, because she knew that if she really used all her strength, this Koizumi would definitely not survive. Instead of killing the guy who might be able to fight her in the future, it would be better to train this guy who could fight her in the future, so that she could have a good time with him.

Esdeath is full of fighting desire, but that doesn't mean she likes to kill the weak, because that would be meaningless.

Esdeath enjoys fighting against the strong, and definitely doesn't enjoy slaughtering the weak.

"But your current strength isn't enough to satisfy my fighting desire... Get stronger... I'll train you hard all day long. You've skipped three days of classes, so you have to make up for it!"

Having said that, Esdeath's eyes flashed with a strong coldness, and it was obvious that she would not refute it.

"Also, don't leave this general's mansion. This is the imperial capital. If you are noticed by someone who shouldn't be noticed, such as the little emperor and that Bud, even I won't be able to save you."

Gu Quan's heart sank. Was he trying to remind me, or even warn me? That was true. This was the Imperial Capital, and the Command Seals on my hand were too conspicuous. If they noticed, I'm afraid something terrible would happen...

Although I don't know if the person who caused this singularity distortion knows me, but according to what Zi and the others said,

Servants summoned by the Holy Grail are endowed with a certain amount of knowledge, which might include knowledge of the Holy Grail War. And if they know about the Holy Grail War... that also means they know about Masters and Command Spells...

Koizumi subconsciously glanced at the Command Seal on his right hand, a hint of vigilance flickering in his eyes.

Chapter 137 Liva's Inquiry (Part 1)

Koizumi's training seemed very arduous. There was no other way, as Esdeath was a battle maniac. Even if Koizumi's fighting power was not that exaggerated, he was still a very rare opponent for Esdeath.

General Bud would not attack Esdeath without first confirming whether she was his enemy. Even if he did, it would not be the fight Esdeath wanted.

The kind of battle Esdeath wanted was one where they could kill each other, and her training with Koizumi was of that type.

Since Koizumi is a [Vampire], Esdeath can beat him to death. However, facing Esdeath in front of him, Koizumi obviously cannot show any mercy, so he will definitely use all his strength to fight Esdeath.

The final result is that two people fight each other, which can no longer be considered as training.

It's obvious that Koizumi is simply here to satisfy Esdeath's own desire to fight.

But in reality, the purpose of the training was achieved, because Koizumi himself needed to hone his combat abilities in this life-or-death situation. Normal training was of little use to Koizumi. In Esdeath's words, the goal was to make Koizumi's body remember the feeling of battle. For a warrior, the warrior's intuition was particularly important.

Sometimes it’s useless if you are aware of the opponent’s attack but your body can’t react.

Therefore, it is necessary to exercise the body's reaction ability, which is why Esdeath trains like this.

Although, there is one thing Koizumi doesn't understand, which is why Esdeath wants to train herself like this?

Create an opponent for myself that can fight her? Perhaps it is like this...

This is the only reason Koizumi can think of. After all, a battle fanatic's biggest pursuit is still fighting.

Koizumi pondered this question while fighting Esdeath, but he soon gave up thinking about it.

Because he dared to be distracted while fighting Esdeath, he was simply seeking death!

Thinking of this, Koizumi has already put all his thoughts on the battle in front of him. Otherwise, he will really be defeated by Esdeath in front of him. After all, no one wants to be killed several times in a row!

If someone is killed continuously like this, even a normal person will eventually become abnormal.

Although Koizumi actually doesn't care about his own life, it's not that Koizumi has any thoughts of committing suicide, but for Reimu and others, Koizumi has long been prepared to sacrifice his life at any time and anywhere.

However, Koizumi didn't want to be slaughtered several times by the opponent because of training.

"Really strong..." It is now time for Hei Tong and others to rest. Although Esdeath is very keen on improving their strength, Hei Tong also has her own physical limit, so Esdeath will still let them have a good rest.

So now, Kuronetsu, Gin, Maitoshi, and Remus sat silently by the side watching the battle between Esdeath and Koizumi.

Even they couldn't help but sigh at Koizumi's strength. After all, it was normal for Esdeath to be very strong, but it was a bit too much for Koizumi to be so strong. Koizumi looked like just a pretty boy, so his strength was too much!

After stabbing Koizumi with her sword, Esdeath launched a sweeping kick, sending Koizumi flying.

The wound on Koizumi's abdomen slowly healed under the interweaving of magic power, and his powerful recovery ability continued to support Koizumi's battle.

Koizumi's face twisted involuntarily at the intense pain that spread from his entire body to his brain. This was simply unbearable for an ordinary person. Esdeath was extremely skilled in torture and abuse in the Empire, so she knew exactly what kind of attack would bring the most powerful blow and the most intense pain to the opponent. Almost every blow from Esdeath caused Koizumi to suffer terribly.

This guy's attack is really too much... Even if it is to let me improve my strength between life and death, this is not the right way to improve it... This kind of intense pain can no longer be called training, but torture!

Gu Quan really couldn't stand this kind of battle anymore. After all, who could endure this kind of pain?

Koizumi dares to say that no one would dare to pursue Esdeath. This guy will definitely remain single until his death.

With this kind of malicious sadistic tendency, anyone who can be her husband must be a masochist!

Fortunately, Reimu, Qin Xin, Zi and Miss Remi don't have such bad tastes, otherwise Koizumi would not be able to stand it.

Although Koizumi doesn't mind that Yukari and the others are a little bit sinister, he really can't stand their sadistic tendencies.

Koizumi is not a masochist, so he has no feelings towards people like sadists.

Like Esdeath before him, Koizumi could almost no longer stand this fake.

Esdeath, who now stood before him, had been listed by Koizumi as one of the "hateful opponents he absolutely did not want to face."

Esdeath seemed to see that her opponent was unhappy, then she curled her lips and sat down in her seat.

Esdeath was sometimes quite understanding. She also knew that Koizumi was beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed by such a fight. After all, Koizumi had been fighting with her since morning and was only able to go for lunch now.

It's normal to feel impatient after spending several hours of the morning fighting.

Moreover, Koizumi had lost count of how many times he had killed her since the morning battle. Not only was he on the verge of collapse, but even Esdeath was almost bored with fighting. Although Koizumi's strength was slowly improving, killing one person after another was quite boring...especially since he had killed this person repeatedly within a few hours.

Esdeath couldn't help but feel relieved. This kind of person who could not be killed was really a headache.

Facing such an opponent, no matter how powerful he is, his fighting spirit will be gradually worn away.

At least now, Esdeath and Koizumi were starting to lose interest in the fight.

Looking at Koizumi, who seemed to be sitting on the ground and contemplating the power within him, Esdeath raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Esdeath glanced at Riva beside her and spoke slowly.

"You probably have something you want to ask me, Liva."

Liva was slightly startled, then quickly shook his head.

"Although I'm puzzled by General Esdeath's actions, if General Esdeath wants to speak, he will naturally say that as a subordinate, I cannot overstep my bounds and should just follow orders."

Esdeath couldn't help but shake her head, a look of boredom appearing on her face.

"Ask whatever you want. I'm not that old, conservative guy like Bud..."

Liva hesitated for a moment, and only started asking after careful consideration.

"So... General Esdeath, why did you pretend not to see through Koizumi-dono's identity and train him? And why did you even warn him to avoid General Bud's attention?"

"...Does General Esdeath intend to betray the Empire?"

Chapter 138 Liva's Inquiry (Part 2)

"...Does General Esdeath intend to betray the Empire?"

Riva was not trying to guard against Esdeath's betrayal of the empire. After all, Riva was no longer the imperial general he used to be, but Esdeath's subordinate, so he would only think about his general. He asked Esdeath this question just to be prepared.

Because if Esdeath decides to betray the empire in the end, then he must fight for some necessary combat power for Esdeath, such as his former subordinate Brand and so on... Riva has long been prepared to follow Esdeath forever.

Even if Esdeath decides to betray the empire, the three beast warriors will follow Esdeath to the end.

I believe that it is not only Liva who thinks this way, but also the remaining Niu and Daidas.

Riva silently looked at Esdeath in front of him, with deep respect flashing in his eyes.

As if sensing Riva's respect, Esdeath simply smiled.

"Let's put aside the idea of ​​betraying the Empire. After all, I don't have that intention. Even if I were to betray the Empire, no one in my army would respond. It has nothing to do with my dignity in the army. Even if I were to fight the entire Empire alone, it wouldn't matter. But that's massacre, not war. I'm not interested in massacres."

Esdeath said calmly that this was why she had no intention of betraying the empire, because slaughter, war and satisfying the desire to fight were two completely different concepts. Esdeath was indeed a sadistic general with a strong tendency to abuse, but slaughter was different.

Esdeath likes war and likes to fight against strong people whose fighting ability is almost the same as hers.

But Esdeath actually doesn't like killing the weak, so she doesn't intend to betray the empire.

"As for training this little fellow..." Esdeath's gaze remained fixed on Koizumi, who was currently experiencing enlightenment. It was as if she saw a familiar figure in him. "I had originally intended to look for Tatsumi. Tatsumi hadn't come to the Empire at this time, but he undoubtedly possessed the talent to become an admiral. I just don't know why Tatsumi wasn't in the village. Perhaps it was the so-called butterfly effect..."

"But I see the shadow of a strong man in this little guy. This little guy's potential is definitely more than just a general. I don't mind training him more. If he can really defeat me..."

Having said that, Esdeath's mouth curled up slightly. It would be interesting to be able to defeat someone stronger than yourself.

"It would be interesting to defeat an opponent stronger than myself..."

Riva was slightly startled, but the doubts in his heart did not diminish. It was within Riva's expectation that Esdeath would say this. After all, Esdeath only had so many interests. If we speculate based on Esdeath's interests, then it is easy to guess why Esdeath wanted to train Koizumi so well. But obviously, training is all that matters, so why did she remind Koizumi to be careful of Bud?

If it was to prevent her future rivals from being killed, that would be fine, but Riva had a feeling that this wasn't the reason Esdeath wanted to protect Koizumi. Esdeath had something deeper in mind.

In short, Leva couldn't guess. After all, he couldn't imagine... In fact, Esdeath wasn't...

"But... General Esdeath... there's no need to remind her..."

There was still a deep sense of doubt in Liva's eyes, as if there was something he had not figured out.

Esdeath understood the other party's doubts. After all, even if she wanted to train Koizumi, there was no need to protect him so enthusiastically.

If Koizumi wants to grow, he can continue to grow in adversity, be targeted by Bud, and then be hunted by the Imperial Army. At that time, there will be many opportunities for actual combat, and even General Bud will personally fight Koizumi.

This is what the Esdeath that Leva knew would do, because Esdeath was just that cruel.

Esdeath believes in the law of the jungle. If Koizumi is accidentally killed by the Imperial Army, it will be due to Koizumi's own lack of strength. Esdeath will feel regretful, but will definitely not say anything more.

The corners of Esdeath's mouth rose slightly, revealing a beautiful smile. Seeing this smile, Hei Tong and others couldn't help but be attracted by Esdeath. They knew that Esdeath was a great beauty, but they didn't expect that she would smile so beautifully.

Koizumi glanced at Esdeath briefly, but didn't feel anything. In fact, Miss Remi, Yukari, Reimu, and Qin Xin were all very beautiful. Having seen so many beautiful people, Koizumi didn't have any strange feelings.

"I've said before that the only things that interest me are war and fighting strong men. Everything else has nothing to do with me. But Liva, you should also know that my current state and my current spiritual base only interest me in war and fighting strong men. If I changed my spiritual base, maybe I would want to have a good relationship like I did in my previous life..."

Esdeath deliberately raised her voice while glancing at Koizumi who continued to reflect.

It was obvious that Esdeath was deliberately speaking to Koizumi, and Kuroneko and the others tilted their heads in confusion. Spirit base... what did that mean? And General Esdeath was actually interested in love...

Women like Hei Tong couldn't help but blush slightly. To be honest, they spent too much time on improving their strength and didn't think much about finding a spouse. Now it seems that it's time to find a boyfriend.

What Koizumi cares about is not whether Esdeath is in love or not, but the word "spiritual base" that Esdeath mentioned earlier.

Koizumi raised his eyes slightly, staring at Esdeath before him, but soon closed them again.

He could see that Esdeath said this on purpose, most likely to test him.

But this is also a reveal to herself. Esdeath is a servant, but her aura seems to be covered up by something.

Of course, the possibility of this being the same as Bud's cannot be ruled out. After all, in this state, it is almost impossible to sense the servant's breath.

It seems that I need some time to have a good chat with Esdeath in front of me. After all... she has clearly stated her identity, so what I need to do next is to ask her about this singularity...

No, to be precise, it's not a problem with this singularity, but a problem with this world.

After all, although this second world is just a guess, it is the guess that is most likely to be true.

"So... General Esdeath went looking for Lord Tatsumi..."

Liva hesitated for a moment, then continued speaking.

Chapter 139: Liva's Inquiry (Part 2)

"So... General Esdeath went looking for Lord Tatsumi..."

Riva hesitated for a moment, then continued to speak. The meaning of Riva's question was very obvious. He was thinking about the reason why Esdeath went to find Tatsumi. Could it be that Esdeath actually couldn't let go of her previous love?

However, judging from Esdeath's behavior after being summoned, Esdeath does not care too much about love.

After failing to find Tatsumi, he did not show any regret, but instead focused his energy on capturing Akame.
